Just bottled this. Used 7 vanilla beans for the last week. FG was 1.020. Perhaps I should have tried to warm it up a bit to get the FG lower, but we'll see how it turns out. I think the British Ale yeast isn't as attenuative as other ale yeasts...

The hyrdo sample tasted awesome. Roasty, Toasty, Tasty, Malty. With a background of vanilla (I'm sure the vanilla will fade over time.)
